Item Extractor Pipe 8

Yields: 8× Item Extractor Pipe

Behavior

The Item Extractor Pipe pulls one item at a time from a connected inventory and inserts it into the pipe network. Extraction happens automatically at regular intervals.

Key features: - Extracts from one face only (configurable) - Pulls one item per extraction cycle - Requires adjacent inventory to extract from - Connects to other pipes on remaining faces - No power required - extraction is automatic - Works with any block implementing Fabric Transfer API

Configuration

Use a Wrench to select which face extracts from the inventory:

  1. Right-click the pipe with a wrench
  2. Extraction face cycles through available directions
  3. Active extraction face indicated by opaque connector
  4. Only one face can extract at a time

The opaque connector shows which face is pulling from the inventory.

Tips

  • Place extraction face directly against the inventory (chest, furnace, etc.)
  • Connect other faces to Copper Transport Pipes for network
  • Use Item Merger Pipes to collect from multiple extractors
  • Extraction is automatic - no redstone required
  • Cannot extract through Item Passthrough Pipes
  • One item per cycle - not a high-speed extractor

Common Patterns

Single chest extraction: 

[Chest] → [Item Extractor] → [Copper Transport Pipe] → [Network]

Multi-chest collection: 

[Chest A] → [Extractor A] ↘
                            [Item Merger Pipe] → [Network]
[Chest B] → [Extractor B] ↗
